The approach on runway 05 at Venezia-Lido is considered the most beautiful on earth. On your lefthand you can enjoy an epic view to Venice. The Piazza San Marco with the famous basilica and the Palazzo Ducale seems close enough to touch them. From the sky you can see why Venice also called "La Serenissima" ("The Most Serene Highness").
But the whole region around Venice, named Veneto, is worth a trip. Beside the Adriatic Sea, you can also find bizarre rock formations like the Three Peaks (Drei Zinnen / Tre Cime di Lavaredo) and majestic mountains like glaciated Marmolada - the Queen of the Dolomites.

Tips:
In the mountains the radio contact to Padua Information (126,425) is really bad. But don't worry. It is no problem if can't establish radio contact immediately after border crossing. Continue your flight and try periodically to establish radio contact.
If you call Padua Information they always request your routing. So be prepared to give them all your waypoints with the estimated time. Especially the are interested in the estimated time for border crossing.
Padua information is chronically overloaded. You have to be very quick to get a slot. Sometimes it's difficult to get an information or a clearance on time.
